Trust me, we all hope they get around to it very soon.

Something tells me the system only examines guilds when someone logs in or a roster change occurs, much like the already existing rules. Guilds were already supposed to disband when there weren't enough council, but if I remember correctly, the rule wouldn't trigger if a character was deleted, only if the person left the guild or resigned from council. Probably a similar situation with the new rules that were added. Maybe someone from a guild has to have logged in for the 48-hour countdown to be triggered.

I expect they will be pruned when 2.0 finally comes along. I'm more interested in seeing all those rules-legal, but 100% dead Guilds (like Angels of Darkness) fade away.

[BotH] != guild
If X != guild, then delete X.

Anyone want to draw the simple and obvious conclusion here?
